""oer Mayhem, the presiding officer

man. based on the following article
published in the Idaho Statesman Of

1t Is currently reported on the
streets that Judge May hew, President
OF the Council, upon hearing of the
death of Gen. John A. Logan, last
week, said: ''G-d d. him h..
ought to have been dead twenty wears
ago" If Judge Mayhem used this
language he deserves to be stunned
ny all decent men of whatever party
or creed. While we are 10th to be-
lleve that any intelligent man could
become SO debased as to use such Ian.
guage against his fellowman, partic-
uiarly against SO pure and able a
statesman and soldier as Gen. John
"A. Logan, there are those in the com
munity who insist tn heard him use
TIE words. Judge Mayhem has the
floor, and we hope he will be able to
show that he has been incorrectly re-
ported.
And without giving either of the
proprietors OF the Statesman an OBJ
portunIty to be heard in any manner
whatever IN regard to SAID matter,
and whereas you took occasion in
speeches and resolutions to charge
that the article was false; that the
Statesman had vilifed and lied about
your President, etc. Now, the un-
derslgned proprietors of the Idaho
Statesman, do respectfully solicit and
demand full and fair investigation
by your honorable body, or by an un-
biased committee appointed from
your body, with full power to take
testimony under oath and compel wit
nesses to appear and testify in regard
to SAID matter, and we promise to
prove by several unimpeachabe wit
nesses and good citizens of Idaho
Territory that the presiding officer OF
your body, Alexander Mayhem, did
make the statement imputed to hin
by the Statesman's article above quo
ted in reference to General Logan.
ANY member of the Council is re
quested to lay this matter before tina

Turner is running on, two or three
hundred feet from the mouth of his
twelve hundred foot tunnel, still holds
out, and if it continues on in It's pres
ent size and grade of ore, Hugh will
be literally rewarded for his perse-
verance, and the men at work for
him, who went in to share the conse-
quences of success or failure in find
ing pay chute, are greatly encour-
aged and have no fears that their
work will be labor lost, even if pay
is not tapped IN the Elkhorn, the vein
the tunnel was run for. The vein
they are drifting on is either spur
of the Elkhorn or separate vein.
1t is in the claim, but is not the Elk
horn vein proper. There is every
reason for the hope of finding bo-
nanza in the main ledge. The mine
has yielded over half million dol
lars, and has been worked to the
depth of only two hundred feet. The
belief that the pay extends on down
is reasonable one, and the twelve
hundred foot tunnel-a big under
taking-that was driven into the
mountain to tap the mine at greater
depth, illustrates the strength of the
hope Hugh entertains that the pay
goes down, and there is every pros
pect of his hopes being realized, and
materialized by handsome yield of
the yellow metal.
